@@name_kidded "Das wohltemperierte Klavier" in modern German spelling, "Das Wohltemperirte Clavier" in Bach's spelling. Is that what you are refering to?
Idk why, I always "knew" how this should sound like. This is the first time I actually heard it. Awesome interpretation, totally selfless but deeply human as well. Brava!
If you want to know what it (really) should sound like, have a listen at the interpretation of the late Gustav Leonhardt on harpsichord. His “interpretation” is closest to taking the musician out of the equation, IMHO. The result is listening to pure music. If you’re not familiar with harpsichord, you might have to get used to that, though. Some people, like me, are hooked in an instant, others never get the hang of it. All in all, this (her) interpretation, on piano(!), comes very close to ideal. Almost, almost(!), no personal interpretation, just letting the music flow. That is how it should be. Very good. I want to listen to more of her, to see (hear) how she plays the other pieces. I can only hope for more like this.
Up to now I strongly believed, that a piano can never replace the harpsichord, Bach originally wrote for. However, this interpretation by Nathalie Matthys proved me wrong!
Excellent ! Sobre, précis, avec les thèmes bien mis en valeur... Un jeu pianistique parfait, et pas maniéré ni théâtral. Digne des meilleurs pianistes. Bravo !
@@NMusician Thank you so much to your wonderful comment I am rooting for you Go for It Good luck Someday please come to Japan You will be astounded at Japanese immeasurable heartfelt hospitality
Wow, the emotion evoked in the phrasing! Moving, but still subtle enough to never overwhelm the overall rhythm that remains highly structured. This way, the essence of baroque music is retained. I've played the guitar arrangement of a different prelude years ago, but that advice on retaining the baroque soul of the piece still stayed with me. Thanks for sharing this performance !
Me la han dado en el conservatorio para aprendérmerla y hoy he empezado. Iré contando mi experiencia 😎 Día 1: nunca me había cansado tanto una primera vista. Empezamos mal.
Why Lol!? Of all performances you choose this one? Is it because you’re learning? Then you can do better. This is beginner’s interpretation with shortcuts, listen to a staccato’d (BUT not necessarily staccato, not being bias here) brilliant version that distinguishes the voices without shortcuts
Yeah, well, so you have a different preference, which is okay, of course. Could you give an example of a staccato’d version you prefer, and maybe a tiny little bit of context why you prefer it that way?
FIORILLO ANTONIO VENEZIA 3/8/21 Splendida esecuzione, brillante ed attuale: la musica di Bach non ha confini temporali ed infonde nell'animo il concetto dell'eternità.
Eventhough I will always prefer the harpsichord interpretation over a piano for Bach's pieces, I agree with al of those that stated that you played it marvellously! Instead of trying to imitate a harpsichord with a piano and/or channel Franz Lizst playing Bach, you just hit "the notes at the right time", as Bach himself used to say, and the beautiful music showed itself. Bravo!
Love your comment! I also prefer the harpsichord version and personally think it should be what Bach supposed. But this performance is also quite amazing!
After listening to her incomparable performance , I might have a dream It's a dream of Nathalie walking while smiling in the crowds of Tokyo , talking to Bach That dream is the ultimate in bliss for me
Прослушала (и просмотрела) три раза - молодец!!! Умничка!!! Великолепная техника, руки - как крылья, пальчики - как быстрые паучки, сама девочка - как белая лебедь!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much for this, I enjoyed it so much it isn't expressible in words! I've been searching around for AGES and finally I found a decent, no, not just decent, AMAZING example of it! Thank you so much, then again!
Thank you so much for making and sharing this lovely video. I have listened to this performance at least 50 times in the last few days. IMHO it is a great reference.
This is by far the best performance of the pieces. I noticed at some points it actually sounded to me like I could hear an orchestra, but it was just a piano solo; truly incredible!
I have heard quite a lot of versions of this piece. But I have to admit, your is the one that I come back to. You give it a soul like no else does. I hope you do more of Bach. 0:06
THank you I thoroughly enjoyed this. A rising younger generation of pianists has challenged Glen Gould's exclusive right tp play Bach on the piano. But I will always love him and his unique legacy.
Glenn Gould never had the exclusive rights to play Bach. Yes, he was, and probably is, unique in a sense, but not in a way that gave him “the exclusive rights”. I can see were you come from though. Once you’ve heard something a certain way, it’s very, very hard to unhear it. Other interpretations, no matter how good they are, will then always seem less than the way you heard it the first time.

I legitimately don't remember the last time hearing anything by Bach, solo piano or otherwise, where I got chills listening. You play with the same passion I drum. Thank you for sharing. Made my day!
The Prelude is so odd. It challenges all the conventional melodies. But at the same time it has a unique sense of melody. That's the best way I can describe it.
I love this performance! I was studying the fugue part of this and I'm not really sure which notes to play staccato. I will listen to this more and notate to help me play this better! :)
@@NMusician Within the last 24 hours I have listened to you more times than I can count. I have also shared this performance together with your playing of the Scriabin Etude to my page at Facebook! Bless you!
Fantastic interpretation , played perfectly. Well done Nathalie. I did this for my grade 8 pieces a few years ago . its so difficult to quell the nerve but you did it effortlessly.
Just got goosebumps on the second listen, especially on the prelude. I never had this before on piano performances. Honestly, I normally prefer the harpsichord, and by a long stretch, but this I will have to listen to a few more times. Not to see whether I like it, but because I like it. I hope your interpretations of the other pieces are similarly good. Will find out soon. Please keep performing like this. This is how it should be done, IMHO.
Bach, my favourite composer. Amazing performance of the BWV 847!
Thanks so much!
You can literally hear all that practice and talent in every single note. Great Job!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you for your lovely comment!

You're amazing
If you play like this, you only deserve it. Good on you!
For those that says she plays too quick; well she alters temp and all voices can be heard! Her articulation is excellent too. 🎉
This literally sounds like its played on a harpsichord like how bach originally wrote it for. Amazing interpretation, good job!
Thank you!
Actually it was written for the "well tempered piano" but I agree amazing performance !!

Beau son dans le prélude en particulier.
Without Bach and his great performers such as Nathalie ,
the classical music world would have been very lonely .
I keep coming back to this performance. Beautiful interpretation

Excellent! When I was about 18 I used to play it this fast and my teacher would say SLOWER... I admire the dedication to speed on the prelude.
George Lenzer At this level of ability, there is no better or worse, only examples.
Love Bach. Well done on a modern piano. This made my day, thank you.
That's wonderful, thank you for your kind comment!
May everything you play and every note bring joy to all who listen to you play. Best wishes from New York!
Прекрасное исполнение! Спасибо, Наталья!
Хорошее звукоизвлечение у девушки. Чистенько и аккуратно исполнено. Единственное, это женское мышление, но это природа и против этого не попрешь
@@dmitrygun7085 ну в этом тоже есть свой кайф, и иной взгляд на вещи
Her interpretation and tone was as powerfully raw yet elegant when she plays
I love how you made the prelude sound like a tidal wave breaching the shore
Thank you for the beautiful compliment!
@@NMusician of course. :)
Remember this so well from my childhood piano lessons. Has to be one of my favourites from J. S. Bach! BEAUTIFUL!
This piece is forever. Doesn't sound like baroque at all. Bach's channeling some future here that's way beyond even 2020.
Really? I feel like if its played on a violin it would sound baroque. I believe Vivaldi did a similar pattern in his cello concerto
it sounds very baroque. the epitome of what baroque. idk what you're smoking mate but i want it
@@Zimzamzoom95 Just your average classical music enthusiast showing off his unique understanding of bach.
